List of graphical interface for Nmap

I already talk about graphical front end application for nmap called nmapsi4, but actually there are other graphical front end for nmap that exist. In this article i will show list of graphical interface program for nmap.

Umit network scanner

Umit is a graphical front end for nmap which based on GTK, umit has simple and minimalist user interface makes it easy to use. The good thing about umit is that when you first open it, you will be asked to grant root permission or not, because the advanced nmap command does need root privilege in order to work.

You can install umit with this:

sudo apt-get install umit

Once installed, you can find umit on lubuntu start menu > Internet > Umit Network Scanner.

Zenmap

Zenmap is another graphical user interface for nmap, just like umit, zenmap also share similar features and has the same minimalist user interface. Some people says that zenmap is actually a copy of umit. Zenmap has an eye logo which in my opinion looks cool.

You can install zenmap with this:

sudo apt-get install zenmap

Once installed you can open zenmap from lubuntu start menu > Internet > Zenmap.

Nmapsi4

Nmapsi4 is my favorite graphical front end application for nmap, the user interface is much better compared with zenmap and umit, not too minimalist but not too complicated either, it's well balanced. The fact that it's made using QT framework is even great (i'm a QT programmer by the way).

You can install nmapsi4 with this:

sudo apt-get install nmapsi4

Once installed you can find nmapsi4 from lubuntu start menu > System Tools > NmapSI4 - User mode.
